This recent strong political engagement could not have been possible without the APMAPAC, which allows podiatric physicians to be at the table to educate federal lawmakers on the top issues impacting the profession. Grassroots advocacy has been equally important, allowing members to build local relationships with federal lawmakers and advance our priorities forward!
